I’m back, and I come bearing edible gifts: a simple and delicious recipe for seared paleo scallops! We’ve been traveling the past few weeks and things have been super busy with work, so this blog has certainly been living up to its name in that I was so lazy, I just didn’t post anything at all. We’ve been eating out and on the run for almost three weeks now, which means I sort of threw the clean eating thing out the window temporarily (I think it’s okay to have a lazy paleo day every now and then, because this is New York, and well… pizza).

This is part one in a two-part series on how I reclaimed my fitness (and sanity) through regular exercise. Today’s post features an interview with one of my favorite SoulCycle instructors and fellow paleo enthusiast, Ryan Steinman. Stay tuned for part two featuring Hallie Wilson, powerhouse SoulCycle instructor and founder of the killer fashion blog corals + cognacs!Continue reading →

When summer rolls around, I could easily live on salads. Especially paleo kale salads—the ultimate barbecue addition! My Mum taught me how to combine flavours to make a quality, well-balanced salad—she can whip up three or four to complement our Christmas lunch, and they work perfectly together every time (oh yeah, and it’s summertime over Christmas back home in Sydney). It’s important to try all her salads as you pile your plate high with delicious fresh prawns, ham off the bone and roasted turkey, because each flavour goes together beautifully. It’s a skill.

Cherry season is here, as is my very first cupcake recipe—Cherry Ripe chocolate paleo cupcakes! I promised I’d move into Cherry Ripe-inspired baked goods after perfecting my smoothie recipe, and I have to say, I think I’ve outdone myself. You may have noticed how many times I’ve made the smoothie over on Instagram lately, and with good reason. First, the cherry, chocolate and coconut flavors are off-the-chain delicious, and second, cherries are everywhere right now so it would be rude not to, right? Continue reading →

Things have been absolutely crazy at Lazy Paleo HQ these past few weeks, so it’s been a while between posts. My hardworking IT guy/husband migrated my site from WordPress.com to a self-hosted site, and I’ve been playing with all the new plugins like a paleo kid in a refined-sugar-free candy store. Recipe cards, SEO optimization, Google Analytics, oh, my! I’ve also made some pretty big changes career-wise which I’m excited to tell you more about very soon. Needless to say, it’s going to be a very productive summer here in NYC! Continue reading →

I started testing this paleo banana bread recipe out on Mother’s Day. My Mum is a kitchen whisperer/genius, and she bakes an epic banana cake. Her recipe is always safely tucked inside her head, she never follows instructions, and it comes out perfect every time. As a tribute to my wonderful Mum (who lives on the other side of the world), I’m excited to report this recipe has exceeded all of my expectations! Continue reading →

Every well-loved dessert deserves a smoothie makeover, right? Yes, I can see a theme taking shape amongst my smoothie recipes, but who am I to say no to peaches, creamy coconut milk, almond butter and cinnamon? Enter this very healthy alternative to the classic peach cobbler—the paleo peach cobbler smoothie. Continue reading →

I’ve lived in New York City for four years now, and I’m excited to share my first round of recommendations for the best clean eating, paleo-friendly places to eat in New York! The list covers breakfast, brunch and coffee, quick meals on the go, fancier dinners and fun days out, and I’ll keep this page updated with new recommendations as I continue to eat my way across the city. Plenty of gluten-free and vegan options as well. Continue reading →
